These three problems are the reason this library exists
All 60+ are ready to go. Each one says what it drills, how long it takes and whether you need to run it. Pick one, open the link, teach. No slides.
The games make the student tap, read and find out straight away whether they were right. You stop lecturing and start hosting. They stop listening and start doing.
Type a word into Ladder Phonics and it tells you which group it belongs to. Go back to that group and drill it, instead of starting over from the beginning.
Three steps. No app, no account setup, no learning curve.
Every card says what it drills, how long it runs and whether it needs you. No opening all of them to find out.
No signup, nothing to install. You tap, they watch and speak together, and it still feels like they are playing it themselves.
The game gives the feedback, so you are not the marking machine. You host and explain why.
10 categories, from kindergarten level up to adult phonics catch-up
Same games as the paid plan. Not a trial, no expiry. Tap a name and it opens.
Do not write off phonics as a kindergarten thing. Ladder Phonics runs from s / a / t all the way to past tense -ed and splitting long words into syllables. I use it with primary, secondary and university students, and with adults in their thirties and forties. Most phonics material is built around nursery songs, which older students find childish, while the adult material tends to be dense pages of text that nobody absorbs. This fills the gap in between.

The first two Ladder Phonics groups are open right now, no email. Group 3 adds c / k / ck / e / h, which is where students can build
cat · sat · hat · pin. That group unlocks with an email.
The two groups take about 15 minutes together, which is enough to tell whether it suits your students.
Mostly primary, roughly ages 6 to 12, with some grammar and writing games reaching lower secondary. Every game states a suggested age. Ladder Phonics works from not knowing the letters at all, and I use it with adults too.
Yes. The Teacher plan includes a commercial licence, so you can use the games in lessons you charge for, on any platform. What you cannot do is redistribute the files or resell access. The full terms are on the policy page.
No. Everything runs in the browser. You share your screen and they watch, or you send the link and they open it in Safari or Chrome. It works on iPad, iPhone, Android and desktop.
Loading the page needs a connection, like any website. After that it does not. All the game logic and data sit in the page and it never calls a server again, so a wobbly connection or a school network blocking a CDN will not white-screen you. The only external request is Google Fonts, and if that fails the page falls back to a system font.
None. Each card in the library says what the game drills, how long it takes and whether it needs a teacher to run it. You pick one and open the link.
Ladder Phonics is not trying to replace a scheme. It is practice. Whichever scheme your student learns from, what they need is a large volume of decodable practice. The 35 groups follow synthetic phonics order, and the words in group N only use sounds taught in groups 1 to N, so the student can always decode rather than guess. Jolly Phonics and Letterland are trademarks of their respective companies and Ladder Lessons is not connected with them.
Yes. The plan renews automatically, monthly or yearly. Open your Payhip receipt, tap Manage subscription and cancel. You keep access until the end of the period you have paid for. Annual plans also carry a full refund within 14 days.
Because each subject has a ladder in it rather than a pile of unrelated games. Ladder Phonics runs from s / a / t up to soft c and g, with each of the 35 groups using only sounds already taught. Ladder Vocabulary runs from A1 to B2. The student knows where they are standing and what comes next.
